Probably one of the easiest melts I've ever done with the pie trays but I did melt a heap of copper in this video as well. 1024 Aluminum trays from a local business who wish to remain anonymous for some reason🤷🏻♂️. Anyway a great bar to add to the stack as well as the couple copper bars I did as well which had almost the same rippled top you get with silver🤔. But most importantly as always have an awesome safe weekend and I hope to see you all next Friday👋🏻😁
I love the Aussie version of "local" business. For anyone not from Australia, a local business is one that is less than 50km away from where you live (100km in Western Australia).
Yeah, everything "near" me is 30 min away too. Except for the tiny market with terrible gas prices. But the hot deli counter makes up for it. Deep fried, smoked pork chops.

I have a request: Since the USA is suffering from an egg shortage (and prices for eggs are currently through the roof), I was wondering if you would make a dozen Nordic Gold Eggs and put them in an egg container? If you think it's a fun idea go for it. Luv the show man!
This is a great idea!! I would love to see some egg melts in the future :) If they happen to be in a goveaway I would be stoked to have an egg as well!
Always amazes me how the stacks of empty tins like this looks like 'Hey that's a decent amount of metal' and then you squish it down and it's like 'Huh, ok maybe a couple decent coins or small bar'
Man, you know, every now and then I go to bed after a long week and watch one of your vids. It is just peacefull, calm, and reminds me of times where I was working outside with my father at our house. Where time stood still. It is a simple reminder that you do not have to have lots of things in your life, and that sometimes simple stuff like working outside and tinkering around is the best. You my man, are very lucky. Your property and proximity seems very calm. Thank you for taking us on a journey with you
I have scrapped copper before , unsoldered copper pipe is what we called 'clean' and soldered copper joints were dealt with as 'braziery' and we dealt with them seperately, it does make a difference to the weight value of the ingots, but I have been enjoying watching you work with the materials I used to deal with in larger quantities, keep up the good work , and thankyou for sharing it all with us :)
GAWD I love the sight of copper freezing in the mold. I don't know what it is, but it's something almost....metaphysical for me seeing liquid metals freezing into a solid form just like water does for us in everyday circumstances in becoming ice cubes. Either way, I will never stop watching this channel until the day BigD keels over on his workbench or otherwise decides to stop uploading videos of the metal melting sacrament. 💜
Wie erstaunlich, dass Sie stets neue Gegenstände zum Einschmelzen besitzen. Und es ist super,👍🏻 dass Sie von Leuten, Firmen, Händlern usw. Nachschub bekommen. Da sind dann immer Ihre Videos variabel! 👌🏻🤗😍💕 Vielen Dank dafür! 🤝🏻💪🏻👍🏻
I think it’s awesome that local businesses think of you when they have materials that would otherwise just go into the landfill. When you melted the extra copper pipes, it got me to thinking. With all the extra scrap metals you have laying about in your shop and on your property, if you never visited the scrapyard again, and didn’t except any more stuff from your fans, how long would it take to melt everything you have on hand?
such a beautiful property big... absolutely love your videos and I'm here for the humor and for the boys, you come in third... The boys are so lucky to have a wonderful owner like you and it's a pleasure to watch your videos every week Peace and love from Hawaii
I wait for these videos to pop up on Friday mornings. They are my first watch before I even begin work. I love this channel and getting to see the boys. I hope you can keep them coming for a long long time. Thank you
It's always a highlight of my week when I get to sit back with some snacks, a good drink, and watch some bigstackd casting. Thank you for the amazing video and I'm already looking forward to next weeks.
Always a nice treat whenever you do 2 melts in one video :) Absolutely loved the pour lines on the Copper! Another great video, Have yourself a lovely weekend Mr. BigstackD & viewers!
As a fan who is cheering with a beer rn. You just told me to tell my grandmother who bakes alot to keep her pie trays. Telling her it's time to recycle brotha.
Old pipe definitely had silver solder brazing, especially if they came from AC units like those pipes did. Your silver contacts easiest way to do them is to simply cut off the silver contacts, then use concentrated ammonia to dissolve all the silver and copper, and then carefully plate out the silver from the copper, using a graphite anode and cathode, and adjusting the voltage, so the one material deposits out preferentially to the other. Slow, but will give a very nicel little silver plate on the cathode, and after you can refine the copper by boiling it dry, and smelting in a crucible with some borax and regular copper scrap.
"local" heh. Here in Tokyo, Local is literally what you can get within walking distance. Usually what is in your neighborhood. Even when I lived in the US, I never dreamed that driving for 30 minutes one way, would be considered "local"... even if a 30 minute drive keeps me still in the city. That property you have is awesome, and I am so glad that it lets you continue to be great at what you do (I won't lie and say I'm not envious, my entire property would just about fit inside the footprint of your melt shed). Keep up the great content!
To answer your question about silver solder in the copper ingots, here in the states we have some rolls of solder that consist of a 97/3 mix of silver and copper alloys.
Hay Big Stack D! Greetings for Southern Arizona! I'm a big fan of yours. Your videos got me interested in metal casting. Thank you! The two copper bars that you casted from that dirty copper does in fact have silver in them. The solder and brazing rod contains silver. It makes the solder flow easier with no gaps in the joints.
Awesome freeze action, copper bars definitely stole the show lol...I'm dying to see what's under the plastic. Feels like a really awesome tear down is on the way. If so, I can't wait. Smashing work my friend. Hope to be sending you an email soon for discount and tips.
Awesome video, as usual. For me, there's no such thing as "too sweet." I'm the kind of person who likes a little tea with my sugar. lol Those dogs are so precious!
AHH YES! double melt, yeah boy.......😁 This entire video starting with smashing the trays was stupid satisfying to watch. Made my morning! 😎🍻 Edit: them copper bars are outstanding! Like the lines & rock formation look.
Love your videos Bro. I’ve been watching you for a couple years now. You’ve inspired me…I think you’re gonna hit your Metric Ton mark on my birthday in mid March! Greetings from snowy Arizona.
If your apple pie is too sweet, warm a slice in the microwave on medium power with a slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese on it. The saltiness of the cheese tones down the sweetness and adds a nice texture to the pie. Very popular here in NC.
Imagine filling that storage container with cryshed aluminum cans and then doing one giant melt over a few days. Maybe get a friend or 2 that also do melting to come and help out. Now that video would be one epic melt
I've been saving my Yorkshire pudding foil trays for over a year now for this same reason. My forging plans have been put back some what since breaking my femur last year but I plan on reaching out for discount and tips this year. On the bright side my scrap hoard has been growing nicely 😊
Fruit and Foxes, I love the new place! That aluminum bar came out great, I always like the copper pours and those were some great bars that came out of that pour. Take care!

Good to see you saving the planet
please vedio copper shot 🙏 😢
Uh-huh... not that you don't wanna give away the location of your local tasty pastry place ;)
I love the Aussie version of "local" business. For anyone not from Australia, a local business is one that is less than 50km away from where you live (100km in Western Australia).
Lol here in the states it's within the same city, or depending on who you ask, within the county.
Mmmm pie
Yeah, everything "near" me is 30 min away too. Except for the tiny market with terrible gas prices. But the hot deli counter makes up for it. Deep fried, smoked pork chops.
Here in the UK local is essentially "Could i walk there in ten minutes?" 🤣
@@Tigermoto right?! Haha! I was trying to think what my most local was while eliminating places because I couldn’t be arsed walking that far hahaha!
Fruit trees, and lots of nice open space, and lots of remote privacy for your melting activities! I imagine you are quite pleased with the property!
Except the critters/buggers have found him.

I'd suggest some made from copper, aluminum, and brass as well. Maybe approximately three of each to make a full dozen?
This is a great idea!! I would love to see some egg melts in the future :) If they happen to be in a goveaway I would be stoked to have an egg as well!
No shortage here my chickens lay lots of eggs and reduce my trash bill by eating kitchen scraps.
In Florida they are eight bucks a dozen
@@Luis-ex5mr that's ridiculous,
Always amazes me how the stacks of empty tins like this looks like 'Hey that's a decent amount of metal' and then you squish it down and it's like 'Huh, ok maybe a couple decent coins or small bar'
1024 pie trays = 1 mega-bite
I hate this lol
Worst part is on mobile this is the comment you see
Pretty sure I have some tissues around here somewhere.....
I really like how everything you melt is preventing something from going to waste. It may not look like much but it’s more then people would think
He likely ended up being more wasteful because of the fuel used to drive to the business and back and to melt it down.

I'm glad you have good memories of your father. I don't have good ones and he always makes me mad.
Seeing a melt in a brand new crucible, being stirred with a brand new rod was.... incredibly satisfying 😍
That green flame is thing of beauty.
the smashin' stick is one of my favorite recurring characters in these videos. You know it's gonna be a good one when Smashy comes out to play.

Love how copper pours out so smooth and when it's cooling from liquid to a solid how it closes up
Omg, that green flame in the dark is so freakin' awesome 👌.

My favourite part is always when you put the hot metal into a big chunk of ice 😍
Been waiting all week for this. I love your videos. I’ve seen everyone in its entirety
I really love the way the 2 copper bars formed - glad you kept them like that. The aluminium one is pretty too :)
I love my uncleaned cleaned copper bars! I started that way and that way for me, it stays, yay!
I love the awesome blue-green flame of melting copper.
That's not from the foam/adhesive? His usual copper melts don't look like Nature's warning to use a higher grade of respirator.

That green flame! 🤩
I love how it looks the copper when is getting colder, it is so relaxing!
I worked in a foundry out of highschool and we used sound waves to melt the alloys. My favorite part of your videos is watching the metal melt.
Came for the melting. Stayed for the scenic shots of the Australian rural landscape.
Bakery: We heard about your channel and were hoping you could melt some stuff down for us?
Bigstack: I’m comin’ baby!
Soon will be vets and refuge with aluminium cat food trays.

Let him smelt it all and get back to you
i still can't get over how nice the new shop looks and your. treasure room. thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😀
The only creator I know of who can turn a 3 minute premise into an almost 30 minute video and it's still totally captivating.

I love the phone! Brings back memories, although ours were always puke-green.
So cool seeing the copper solidifying. Very mesmerizing .
Thanks again for another great melt! I think you're correct on the results of the copper, silver solder alloyed with the copper. It looks awesome!
Thanks!
You bet Matey👊🏻😁. Thanks again my friend I really appreciate it. Have yourself an awesome week👍🏻

I’m gonna be honest, this is the fastest I’ve ever clicked on a video before lol!!!!
My prefered video is when you dismount and melt huge electrical motors.
Always awesome.

Green burn SWEET
Love the coppermelts.
Bro, your videos get funnier every time. And I am here for it. Loving every time i get the bell there's a new one.
Awesome copper bar's and aluminum bar thanks for sharing bigstackd
It is very satisfying to know how many trays you've melted. It would've bugged me to no end. :P
The ice smash is my favorite part 😢 At least I got to see the boys chilling!
12:32 …. Niiiice!! 🤣
Wow!!! Those green flames!!! 💚💚💚
We love your videos Bud pretty awesome man!
I always love the green and greenish blue flames copper produces if only I cold capture that color I'd paint my work shop door those colors

Beautiful freezing patterns in those copper bars🥰🥰
Considering you commented about silver on the copper, if you keep the stuff around from the fume hood, you might be able to extract it with chemicals!
Very cool copper bars with the ripples! Thanks for quality entertainment and satisfying pie tray crushing 🤤
Ingot and Bullion are so cute. I always look forwards to seeing them in your videos. ❤️🐾🐾 Such a lovely place. Hello from Cincinnati Ohio. ✨🤘
I love this man when he melts the copper🤤🤤🤤
you make amazing castings.i watch your videos all the time
Glad to see you fly our old red , white and blue !
I like the rippling effect on top of the copper bars BigD.
I love the new property!
lol - I giggled like a small child when the pie tins kept blowing off the top!
Love the classical music in the car!!
I absolutely love the phone call!!!!!
I love the old school rotary phone! Never needs charged.
Such a beautiful piece of land
That smashing/crushing was sooooo satisfying to see the volume change
Fruit and Foxes, I love the new place!
That aluminum bar came out great, I always like the copper pours and those were some great bars that came out of that pour. Take care!
Another fine job big. Cheers mate
I have been subscribed to you for a long time. I watch your video every week. I really enjoy watching you melt things down.
